According to TMZ, a Southern Califonia man confessed to writing the Bow Wow vehicle Lottery Ticket in recently-filed court documents in L.A. County. Bail has not been set.

The man filing the lawsuit is Tom Huang — who once wrote an episode of “The Mullets” back in 2003.
According to legal documents, Huang claims he came up with an idea for a movie back in 2004, wrote a “treatment” for it … and talked it over with his agent Brad Kaplan.
But in the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in L.A. County Superior Court, Huang claims Kaplan “stole” the idea and gave it to one of his clients named Erik White .. who went on to write and direct “Lottery Ticket.”
Huang claims “Lottery Ticket” ripped off all sorts of elements from his movie — including “detailed plot elements, characters, and scenes.” Huang is suing for an undisclosed amount — but states in the lawsuit that he believes “Lottery Ticket” will rake in millions … so it’s safe to say he’s gonna want a ton of cash.

My sources say Huang went on to claim that White not only stole from him, but just hung out in his store all day reading magazines like it was a god d*mned library. Anyway, if Huang has proof at all, this should be an open and shut case, as a plot like this is unmistakable:

Kevin Carson (Bow Wow), a young man living in the projects, wins $370 million in a nationwide lottery. When his opportunistic neighbors discover he has the winning ticket in his possession, Kevin must survive their greedy and sometimes even threatening actions over a three—day holiday weekend before he can claim his prize.

I’d like to believe this plagiarism story isn’t true, because I simply refuse to believe that a person would stoop so low as to steal a maltese falcon’s fabergé egg of an idea such as this.

If I’m black, am I required to go see this movie? Doesn’t look like either Tyler Perry or Oprah are involved, but I thought I should ask, just in case.

He’ll probably tear the ticket up or it’ll have been a fake or some garbage like that in the end.

When did L’il Bow Wow drop the l’il from his name? He still looks like a l’il bitch to me.

After being harassed, White said “Chill out man where gonna pay for it.” Then White’s friend O-Dog snapped and shot everyone to death.

Mac from Predator is on the case, though.

Originality like that deserves a bag of peanuts and a swift kick in the ass.

Bow Wow wins lottery; builds $50 million mansion in Walnut Park, overlooking Watts; employs all 150 of his friends to work for him, plus his entire old neighborhood, and extended family — goes bankrupt — $50 million mansion is foreclosed on; all 150 friends, old neighborhood, and extended family bolt; back to buying lotto tickets.

There is a slim chance I’ve actually communicated with this Huang guy. There was a guy on one of the message boards I frequent who had written one episode of ‘The Mullets.’ How many of those actually aired? 3 or 4?

So, I guess it’s better odds than I thought.

I know I should have been there Erswi, but being Canadian, there are somethings about the people in that video I just don’t understand.

This though, I’m an expert on. I have relatives from New York who willingly defiled my blu ray player with a bootleg Just Wright DVD. Best way to get me to leave a room.
